    Hey what's that over there!? Well... I'd reckon that's a black sheep. Hmm... I would have to agree.

    I finally realize why Enix gives Square such a run for their money in Japan.

    Dragon Quest VI is a great example of the RPG genre.

    It’s pretty clear that Dragon Quest VI was developed by people who made Chrono Trigger, and even if it’s not as good as the classic, it still is one of the best jRPGs. I recommend it with all my heart. [10/2015, p.77]

    It all boils down to this: If you’ve enjoyed the mobile Dragon Quest ports up ’til this point, Dragon Quest VI is a perfect topper. And if you’re looking to jump into the series with VI, that’s not a bad idea either.

    Although it's got a bit of bloat and the overall package isn't quite as strong as the previous game, Dragon Quest 6 is still a phenomenal RPG.

    Surprisingly, I found myself enjoying DQ VI more than its technically superior descendant. Maybe it's easier to forgive dusty design choices knowing that this was originally a 16-bit game, or maybe it's because DQ VI embraces the mile-a-minute imagination and sense of adventure that made me fall in love with RPGs as a kid.

    Absorbing gameplay and an epic plot make this Dragon Quest remake worth the wait.

    If Dragon Quest VI had been promptly localized into English after its 1995 release, it might have won a treasured place in the hearts of Super NES owners. [March 2011, p.89]

    DQIX is tighter, but this is still an epic 40-plus hours of classic RPG gaming.
